We all have those moments (ok, days)- and today this popped up. That "silly old bear" is much wiser than many ever gave him credit for. Hope it resonates with you as it did me.
Hugs!

I totally relate to this. I feel like I kinda died when I got the diagnosis and actually had moments of how do I live now? I try to find things to enjoy & sometimes it is really hard, like I hate the new me, I didn’t ask for this & I get angry. But here we all are, just taking it one day at a time. Hugs 💕
I miss the innocence I used to have, before I knew how badly things can go south, how scared I would be, all the uncertainty of what the future holds. I am still trying to hug the "new me" and get used to the feeling that anything can happen, no matter what I do to try to prevent it. But onward we go, trying to summon up all our small courage and keep going. Hugs to all.

Yes, I know chemo of any kind can affect eyes. In my case, I actually developed an astigmatism. My vision improved dramatically once treatments ended. I had 11 Taxol infusions. I exercised throughout because only day of or day after was I too tired. I am old and infusions for me were still more than handleable. Would I do it all again? IDK, I think probably not but I truly do not know. In my case, age 82 is rapidly approaching and that must be part of the thinking. I agree that quality of life is uber important. I hate that you are dealing with all of this - that anyone is! I hate these near impossible decisions that have to be made. After you see Dr tomorrow, maybe just try blocking out all the other voices and ask yourself what YOU want to do, what you need to do for your peace of mind. Then, do let me know, please how tomorrow goes. 🙏, 💜 and healing hugs are winging their way to you. Believe me I will be thinking of you tomorrow and every day. We all will be!
GrandmaG! I love that your husband named them the Poke and Prod Patrol!! He has their number for sure!! So glad, that with everything going on- you still have more good days than not! And that you are enjoying that glass of wine! I may pour a glass and join you virtually! Put that to a swallow test- lol! Keeping you in prayers for Monday's adventure! Hugs!
